China and the US are really competing tightly in terms of economy and technology even though these two countries are always in conflict, China cannot escape dependence on the US, this is proven by the news that China wants to invite the US to sit down to discuss the increase in tariffs set by Donald Trump.
What dependency? There is no dependency and instead I call it mutually beneficial bilateral trade cooperation. China needs a large consumer market like the US and vice versa, the US needs a large amount of goods to consume, they are cooperating. That is why when the trade war happened, it caused serious damage to Chinese exporters but at the same time, consumers in the US also suffered the most.
Which source says China wants to invite the US to sit down and discuss tariffs? If China was scared and wanted to make concessions, it wouldn't retaliate against Trump's tariffs. According to the news I know, both sides are open and willing to negotiate to find a common solution to the tariff situation, but it seems that neither side wants to give in first.
